Romelle Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I just successfully got a 3* Helsinki hotel for $65 plus the $5 bonus referenced in www.flyertalk.com (last day of bonus June 14). 4 nights. I first bid $60 (plus the bonus) for 3 nights. Got a counter-offer for an additional $15, so figured I was reasonably close. Changed my dates and bid the $65 and it worked.I was a little worried about getting a hotel at the airport since there is only one zone for all of Helsinki, including the airport. But the only retail offerings from Priceline for the airport are 2* hotels, so I took a chance. I also knew there was reasonable public transportation from the airport downtown, so figured I could make it work if I had to.Looks like no breakfast is included, but the whole hotel is non-smoking so don't have to worry about that. There is a metro stop about 1/10 of a mile away. I'm not sure just what is going on with the map, but think it is right by a huge shopping complex. I'll review it when I get back.The best rack rate was 104 Euro, or $127 so this is a fine deal.Romelle Link to comment
